'You're only doing it for money'

'Yes I’m doing it for the money'

'We've already established your only interest is money'

'I never said my only interest is money'

Bad take, stupid take, he said.

Let me help you - the act of being a landlord, big or small, presupposes interest is money first, everything else a distant second, third and so on.

We're now at the level of a 7 year old, down from about a 10 year old that I started off with. Feel free to engage with what I've said as a whole instead of pedantry over the use of a single word anytime you wish.

Wow, way to not actually read what a person said, and then quote things and say they mean something that they don't.

I get that you don't like the concept of people owning property and renting it to others, but maybe stop arguing in bad faith?

Here's a hint: it's possible to be doing something for the money, but not only do it for the money. It's possible to operate a business, but also be a well-meaning person who treats customers of that business with empathy and compassion.

I don't know the landlord in this subthread, so I can't say if he's telling the truth about how he treats his tenants, but if he is telling the truth, he sounds better than the vast majority of landlords out there. Not just better, actually good.
